Longtown Store Cattle Sale Report
C&D Auction Marts Ltd held their Annual Prize Show and Sale of 517 Store Cattle on Saturday 30th September 2023.
An outstanding show of seriously well bred cattle, mainly 11-16m of age was forward to a packed ring of purchasers ensuring all classes were in serious demand. Credit to the vendors who put on a show of cattle that had to be seen to be believed, second to none.
Judging was carried out by Mr Anthony Tindale, Paradise, Co Durham, who had a very difficult task in front of him. Anthony duly awarded his champion beast to a phenomenal Charolais heifer that oozed class, also taking home the cup for best Charolais beast on show, being consigned by M/s Bell, Low Houses, Brampton. This heifer went onto realise £1,820 going home with the judge. The show was kindly sponsored by Capontree Vets.
Top Price of the day went to the first placed Limousin Heifer consigned by M/s Gass, Nunscleugh, Bewcastle which went on to realise £2,000. This expertly exhibited run of 60 shapely Limousin cattle went on to average an outstanding £1,470.68
Top herd average of the day was another outstanding run of Limousin cattle consigned by M/s Phillips, Netherhill levelling at £1,558 for 5 sold.
Not far behind were M/s Telford, High Parkfoot who sold their usual stamp of fantastic Charolais cattle topping at £1,790 for a rangy Charolais steer that topped the steer section as well, levelling at £1,554 for 10 sold.
Younger cattle also sold to a big trade with 10 month old steers topping at £1,480 for a black Limousin boy from M/s Gass, Nunscleugh and heifers to £1,430 for another 10m old British Blue lady consigned by M/s Reed & Hill, Lingey Field, Hexham.
Many more cattle of all classes can be sold at this venue to benefit vendors across the northern counties and the Scottish Borders. For further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact our auctioneers who will be pleased to take your calls.
